>>'that hideous strength' <<

Yes Achilles, in the CS Lewis book it may be about the evil, but G-d has this firmly under control as well. That was why I made an additional post about wonder, beauty, things like that which are firmly in the realm of good.

By co-opting "hideous strength" I'm trying to point out the awe-inspiring fear one can find in the face of G-d, especially if one meets G-d before one has become repentant, which was my experience in large degree. For me, I had the fear in heart long before truly realizing the love.

In any case having realized that "hideous" doesn't do this experience justice, more adjectives were added in a later post.

Please excuse the confusion. I will have to find a better terminology than "hideous strength" when trying to describe the Lord in the future.
